PruneR

Reviewing PRs is hard. Dependabot PRs flood your list, and test file changes add noise to every review. PruneR helps you cut through the clutter:

• 🧹 Hide dependabot / dependency PRs from the PR list with one click
• 👁️ Auto-mark test files as “Viewed” on PR file pages so you never have to look at .test.ts noise again

Hence the name PruneR

[!NOTE]
This is for very³ lazy and my kinda people, who don’t want to do anything manually.

Features ✨

1. Toggle dependency PRs

Click the PruneR icon in your toolbar while you’re on a GitHub PR list page (https://github.com/org/repo/pulls). It adds -label:dependencies to the URL, hiding all dependabot / dependency PRs in one click. Click again to show them.

2. Auto-mark test files as viewed

When you open a PR’s Files changed tab (/pull/*/files), PruneR automatically checks the “Viewed” checkbox on:

Pattern	Examples
*.test.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,mjs,cjs}	button.test.tsx
*.spec.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,mjs,cjs}	utils.spec.ts
__tests__/	__tests__/foo.ts
test/ or tests/	test/setup.ts
__mocks__/	__mocks__/fs.ts
__fixtures__/, fixtures/	fixtures/data.json
__snapshots__/, *.snap	__snapshots__/button.test.tsx.snap
*.stories.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}	button.stories.tsx
mock/, mocks/	mocks/handlers.ts

These files are still visible in the diff — they’re just marked “Viewed” so they collapse out of your review flow. Focus on the actual logic changes.

Toggle on/off: Right-click the PruneR icon in your toolbar and select “Auto-mark test files as viewed” to enable or disable this feature. A checkmark ✓ means it’s active.

Installation

and other Chromium browsers

Install from the latest release 📦

Prefer to run it locally, or want a version before it clears Web Store review?

1. Download the .zip from the latest release
2. Unzip it somewhere you’ll keep it — Chrome loads the extension from this folder every time it starts
3. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/
4. Enable “Developer mode” (toggle in the top-right corner)
5. Click “Load unpacked” and select the unzipped folder
6. The PruneR icon should now show up in your toolbar

Demo 🎥

Development

git clone https://github.com/aashutoshrathi/PruneR.git
cd PruneR

Then load the folder as an unpacked extension in Chrome:

1. Go to chrome://extensions/ & enable Developer Mode
2. Click “Load unpacked” and select the cloned folder

Publishing

A new release triggers a GitHub Actions workflow that:

1. Checks the manifest version matches the release tag
2. Builds the ZIP package
3. Publishes to the Chrome Web Store (signed with the Verified CRX key)
4. Attaches the ZIP to the release

To publish a new version:

1. Bump version in manifest.json
2. Commit: git commit -m ":arrow_up: bump: vX.Y.Z"
3. Tag: git tag vX.Y.Z
4. Push: git push && git push --tags
5. Create a release from the tag on GitHub — the workflow handles the rest
